Kev Lawrence, PCR fm’s Breakfast Presenter said: “We are thrilled to be recognised with these prestigious awards. This is a first for me, I am so proud of the wonderful team at PCRFM, and I want to thank all our advertisers, supporters, listeners and volunteers, which without this would not be possible. It has certainly been a challenging last 12 months we look forward to even bigger and better things in 2022.”
Wayne Fitzgerald, a founding director at PCR fm, said: “We are delighted with this industry recognition alongside many other stations who are doing great work across the UK community radio sector. Local radio connects communities and while some radio stations are moving away from this as a concept, PCRFM will continue serving the communities in Peterborough and surrounding areas and continue to make a difference.”
